how important are abs for a guy?

[Canadian_Cron]

best and quickest way to build abs is do chin ups but stick your legs out straight the whole time your doing them... its hard as fuck in the beginning but youll notice a difference within a few weeks. just do as many as you can each time untill you cant anymore.

The reality of abdominal muscles showing is bodyfat. You could have done not one situp in your life, and have amazing abs, it's genetic+bodyfat. Also, there is no such thing as spot reduction, it's overall fat loss, and the sad part is, it comes off the stomach last

well the way i see it is depending on how your body is naturally depends on how easy youll be able to have abs... but from my experiences as long as you arent fat and have some tone girls like it. but nice abs are a big turn on for girls.

i don't have abs, but i do have a flat stomach. the girlfriend seems to like it...

i don't have the determination to get abs

the ABS on my car is broken too, and i don't have the determination to fix that either

coincidence?

I was always under the impression that doing exercises like sit-ups only make your bads 'bigger'. Because your making the stomach muscles bigger. If you're already skinny and want to build muscle mass, then yes do sit-ups and stuff like that.

But if you're trying to slim down AND build muscle mass, I wouldn't advice doing sit-ups and other exercises to build your abs. If you already have stomach fat, your best bet is to run. Once you've been running for a while, and you start to lose the stomach fat, THEN you should probably start working on those abs...

Am I correct in this thinking?

I've never really been overweight, I've always been taller than everyone else, though my body never really 'matured' into what all my friends had. I was rather slender, yet I still had some 'jiggly' on my body. Probably too many cokes ...But I started running and the body fat seemed to melt away. I was already rather muscular, running just accentuated my muscles.

idc about a 6 pac just dont be fat
its good wen a guy takes care of yourself and a nice set of abs is always a + but its not something that i care about in a relationship, or even something i look for in a one night stand or something........... not that i have one night stands or anythgin lo l

You can work your whole front, abs, pecks, arms, while you drive a car, just by pressing on the steering wheel so all your muscles are contracting, keep pressing until you can't any longer, then relax for a few seconds and do it some more. You can exercise WHILE driving a car! I do it all the time.

I'm a bodybuilder, and personally, I am really into health one way or another. I find someone who is into their health very respectful, and very sexy. I could never be with someone who isn't into fitness and health, why not try and live as long and as healthy as possible? I never understood the "you're going to die someday" ya well why not live a long and prosperous life?

Because you will die someday. I almost did more than a year ago through cancer. Not because I was in poor health, I was a total fitness nut, just one of those things that was destiny. Don't mistaken me, I'm not old, I'm young, diagnosed when I was 23.

It's not to bring your philosophy down, because to this day, I'm still a fitness nut. I work-out all the time, constantly soak knowledge about various different exercises and types, but not with the same determination to have the perfect body or be the strongest because I know I'll never have it again. I got scars all over, but I do it because I enjoy it, it makes me feel good to lift a little more than you can each time.

If something ever happens to you, you'll learn to understand what "you're going to die someday" means. Live life to the fullest every moment possible.

My girl used to LOVE my abs but nowadays she could care less. So although a 6-pack may help you get girls...it certainly doesn't help you keep them!
